This is just a fabulous video. I dare you to watch it. If you're having a bad day, the video will be even better. You may have seen videos with Matt in them before, but I like this one the best. You have to watch the whole thing, all the way through to get the full effect. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080722.html
If you like it you can learn more about Matt here http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/about.shtml We're considering inviting this guy over for some food. He lives in Seattle.

Leopard Kills Crocodile in Africa
This is an incredible series of photographs: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/07/18/ealeopard118.xml A photographer was in Africa to shoot hippos, and caught this leopard attacking and killing a croc, pulling it from the water.Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Bigfoot
So, after 40 years, we still can't get a clear photograph of bigfoot? What the hell's up with that? I asked the Bigfoot Researchers Organization (BFRO) http://www.bfro.net/, but not surprisingly, got a fuzzy answer. Here's my email:
Hi : Just read your accounts of six bigfoot encounters...a suggestion: Telephoto lens and FOCUS when you shoot! This way, you can work to prove the skeptics wrong instead of battling against them. I'm in WA with an SLC with telephoto and can shoot pretty quick, if I see one, I'll catch it on film and send it to you.
His reply:
Thanks for your support and I'll pray for your success, but untill then listen to the radio show on wednesday and maybe we will all learn something new. www.bigfootliveradioshow.com
So essentially, he's saying "Shut-up and buy bigfoot stuff, you idiot." It's comforting to know you're always welcome to go on a bigfoot hunting expedition. Maybe there's one near you! They are selling DVDs, T-shirts, and all sorts of things, but there's not many photographs, save the one we're all familiar with from 1967. They have a handy comparison photo of a "real" bigfoot, and then a silly one of a person in a bigfoot costume.
Nelly.

You Are Here
Scientists used to think the Milky Way had four spiral arms, but recent research shows only two major arms. The cool part though is the sleek new galaxy look we have, and also this handy map that shows you exactly where we are in the galaxy:
http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/236084main_MilkyWay-full-annotated.jpg
There are an estimated 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Recent estimates put the number of galaxies in our universe at around 130 billion. Some astronomers estimate that there are 50,000 billion billion stars in the known universe.
Why am I paying bills? And when are we going to start building comet-ships so we can get the hell out there are start ruining other planets?
